Meet another homeschool mom and see how she does it

Homeschool Mom - News and Weather For The Quad Cities -

There are lots and lots more homeschoolers today. When we began our homeschooling journey over 28 years ago, homeschoolers were few and far between. Many were homeschooling 'under the radar' but some of us were willing to plow the way for future generations by being vocal and highly visible.

Interviews, such as this, are great to see how other homeschooling moms approach education and child rearing. They can be inspirational and informative, as well as encouraging. Not all mom's will have a college degree in teaching but don't let that stop you from providing your child with the best learning environment you can muster. In fact, I've discovered over the years some of the best homeschooling parents are drop-outs. They don't bring to their homeschool all the educational theory and baggage some parents with degrees have.

'Tis the season to remember the reason

This is the Christmas 'Flash Mob' by Journey of Faith at a shopping mall in California, packed with holiday shoppers on December 18, 2010. It just recently crossed my path.

In the face of adversity, doubt and defeat, we always somehow manage to get turned back around to the peace, faith and strength that is meant to grace our loving hearts.

Just had to share with you all. Gave me goosebumps and made me cry. Overwhelmingly joyous and wonderful how the unsuspecting shoppers spontaneously join in. Kudos to the artist who created, planned and choreographed this. Absolutely brilliant. Thank you for this inspirational moment in time and thank you for sharing!

"The 11-year-old girl was homeschooled through 4th grade and then ordered into public school because of a lawsuit by the father who objected to the mother educating their daughter at home. The parents divorced when the daughter was two months old."

Again, the states don't give a rat's rump about religion or your religious beliefs. I learned long ago that is not an area you should use to fall back on, unless you can find a judge gullible enough to truly believe religious choice has any merit.

This appears to be purely a case about a man wanting control over his ex-wife. It happens all the time and the courts usually side with the parent wanting the child in public school because that is the territory the judges are most familiar and comfortable with. Once a parent realizes this, such as this dad, they will push the issue, knowing they will better their chances for a victory over the other parent. It has nothing to do with education or what's best for the child. It's a power play.

This dad should be ashamed but he'll get his comeuppance once his daughter comes of age. She won't have anything to do with him for what he's done to her mother. The one thing he's overlooking is where his daughter's loyalty is and that loyalty lays with the woman who gave birth to her. I've seen many of these daughters grow up and make their dad's lives a living hell for doing just what this dad is doing now. That karma thing can be a real bitch!
